greetings mac users..
this is my first post on this forum, and i thought i'd make it as easy as possible.
I'm sure this gets asked about 10 times a day but right now i'm feeling a bit lazy so i thought i'd just ask myself.
Garageband on my iBook G4 is no longer talking to my M-Audio sound card. Well, they are technically talking to each other, but the imput signal coming from the M-Audio just shows a constant noise (when you look at the System Preferences --> Sound -> M-Audio input), and comes out as a really annoying buzz when i turn my speakers on.
Anyway, i've been grabbing the free online upgrades for garageband as they come to me, and i have a sneaking suspicion that the soundcard just doesn't like the new versions. It was running fine when i first got the mac, but now it doesn't work, so i figure it's the upgraded versions which are to blame.
Assuming this is the right strategy (and by all means, shout if anybody has had a similar problem or has any inkling as to why the sound card/mac aren't working together), i think i might need to reinstall Garageband, and get it back to the original version.
..and finally to the question!
- What is the best (easiest?) way to reinstall an ilife app (namely Garageband), and do i even need to do this at all?
any and many suggestions are welcome.
cheers all..
